Rcmdr package dependencies

Create a package called RcmdrInstall, say, with no content and have it
depend on Rcmdr.  RcmdrInstall would have all packages as dependencies
while Rcmdr would only have the essential packages as dependencies.

Install RcmdrInstall.  That would also force Rcmdr to be installed.

Now issue:

   library(Rcmdr)

as before and the non-essentials won't be loaded.

Thus the only difference between the current procedure and the new
procedure as far as the user is concerned is that they install
RcmdrInstall rather than Rcmdr.  They load and run Rcmdr in the same
way.
